Ideas for Yellow & Blue Centerpieces

Martini Candles

• Give martinis a twist by creating them out of candles. Dye candle gel blue and pour the mixture into three martini glasses. Sink weighted candle wicks in the center. Add bright yellow parasols. Tilt the parasols to the side and away from any flame. Arrange glasses on a mirrored charger to add flare, and a conversation piece, to your next cocktail party.

Old-Fashioned Charm

• Bright yellow Gerbera daisies in a blue glass vase or enamel pitcher add a dose of cheer to a breakfast table. Yellow roses or tulips also make a striking display.

Dandelion Centerpiece

• Rather than discard dandelions from your yard, use them in a centerpiece to reconnect with your childhood. Pick and place about two dozen dandelions in a shallow vase or teacup that has been filled three-quarters full with water. In between each of the dandelions, insert several small blue Lithodora flowers. The centerpiece works well for casual luncheons or tea with friends.

Gardener's Delight

• Pull that old weathered straw hat out of the garden shed. Push the stems of artificial yellow and blue daisies through the rim of the hat and place it in the center of your table. Complete your blue and yellow centerpiece by placing it next to gardening gloves and a tin watering can.

Simple Elegance

• Arrange several sizes of blue pillar candles on a silver charger. Tie yellow satin bows around the middle of each candle. Scatter a few white sea shells around the candles for a simple, romantic centerpiece. The arrangement also works well at outdoor parties or as a focal point on your fireplace mantel.

Food

• Use food to make a yellow and blue centerpiece. Arrange cuts of cheese on a blue speckled plate. Fill a clear blue vase with lemons. Blueberries, plums, bananas, mangoes, and pineapple come together to form an edible centerpiece that is both aesthetically pleasing and appetizing.
